1948 was the final year for Ford's prewar-styled cars, with the all-new 1949 Ford launched partway through the year. Fords kept a manual starting feature until 1948, as a backup for a dead battery. The Super Deluxe was the top trim, with more chrome and a wood-grain dashboard. You're looking at a 1948 Super Deluxe convertible in Maize Yellow, with a manual gearbox.
